Venus vs. Serena so that they would've met at each GS final! Now that would be awesome history!

I wanted Kim vs. Serena, but they're in the same half of the draw, so I'll have to settle for Kim vs. Venus

Justine vs. Kim
Roddick vs. Agassi

I'm sick of the all-Williams finals. Too much...

An All Belgian final :bounce: But I'm afraid that's the least likely when the semi's are Williams versus Belgium :sad:

Second choice : Kim versus Venus :)

Third: Kim versus Ruano Pascual ;)

...and Andre versus someone else :)

There are still some players whom I like left in the draw, but I don't really care now. With Amelie not playing and Dani eliminated today, I'm not going to get too excited about the rest, just enjoy some good tennis. The Venus/Dani match was a bit like the final for me.

I'd kinda like to see Venus win the tournament, y'know, just coz it's awhile since she's got a victory over li'l sis. I suppose it's also nice to know the person who eliminated your favourite (Dani) was the best player in the world that week.

Kim v Venus or Justine

If it is a Kim - Juju final, I think Kim would lose because Juju can not lose AGAIN to Kim and Juju needs her fairy tale ending once and for all

It has too be SERENA/VENUS with a marathon 3setter that Venus wins
Andy/Andre with Andre winning his 8th(?) major

Yep :D 8th major :) And he made the semi's an hour ago :bounce:...

As for a Serena-Venus final becoming a marathon match...as likely as Meghann and Ruano Pascual making the finals ;)

Kim vs Venus.

A bloodcurdling 3 setter like the Justine-Lindsay match, with Kim growing to her best level ever, playing flawless... and therefore winning the third set with 12-10. :) :) :)

I don't really care either combo is fine.
Williams vs Williams would be kind of funny after
how much they hyped up the Belgians.

An all Belgian final would be interesting just
to see who really cares. The general public,
and the sports writers really didn't
get too excited in their previous grand slam
meetings.

Myskina vs Venus or Justine would be
interesting just to see how people react about
seeing a non-William/Belgian contender in the final.
I bet they(the critics/writers) will say- move back
the AO because we don't want these fluke winners. lol

LOL@ greenout
I kinda want Justine or Kim to win as well. but i wouldnt at all be upset with Williams/Williams final if both make it. It would be great History making for either especially serena and her quest for a Serena Slam. Also give commentators a slap in the face for all who questioned Venus' preparation for this tournament. I really want Justine to win something before too long, She is really talented. but my heart is going outto Venus too just cus everybody has basically ignored just how competitive and great a player she is. I think its aweful how they are treating a 4 time slam winer and 3 tiem slam finalist of 2002. anywya, hope we get some more classic justine/davenport type matches.

Hyped up, eh? The de facto number 3 & 4 of the world... hyped up. How do you figure? If you would have called Alexandra Stevenson hyped up, now that I could have understood...

As for an all Belgian final: of course most ppl wouldn't get too excited, that's very understandable. Most ppl - and certainly Americans - don't even know where Belgium is. It's one of the disadvantages of being a sportsman/woman of world class, but from small country: you'll never have as much fans as, say, John Nobody Doe from Nixmendalle, New Texas.
But most of the Belgians, including the sport writers, would be very much excited indeed !

Btw: ppl like to pick sides, they like identify with one of the players (I know I do) - so that's one reason more why a lot of ppl wouldn't care about an all Belgian final. For precisely the same reason a lot of ppl don't get too excited about an all Williams final either: there is not enough of good vs bad epics going on...
